Materials

OKTOMAT^® ECO is ideally suited for the majority of applications. It handles the emptying of free-flowing to poorly flowable materials. For more difficult tasks, the discharge station can be extended with options.

Applicable for all bulk bag types

The OKTOMAT^® handles easily and effectively the emptying of all common types of Big Bags, octobins, folding boxes, lattice boxes, bulk bags with foil inlet, etc.

Just pallet jack will do

Simply use a pallet jack to move the bulk bags, clamp the foil and the suction will follow without supervision and risk of interruption. The bulk bags will be completely emptied.

1. During the suction process, the flexible bulk bag wall is pulled up and inwards via the automatic bag tightening system.

2. As a result, the bag tightens and the bulk material in the border area flows to the central suction point.

3. At the end of the emptying process, the almost empty bulk bag is automatically lifted up from the bottom, enabling a complete material discharging.
